Flour-The Market Record says: The
movement was good to-day, with a reason
ably large supply of orders, some accepted
and others refused. The late firmness in the
tone OF wheat seems to rest upon a pretty
solid foundation. The only trouble that is to
be apprehended in the way of producing an
overstocked flour market during the ensu-
ing winter is that patents may not be taken
abroad sufficiently to keep that grade cleaned
up. AS an offset to that fear is the fact that
more patents have gone out on foreign ac-
count within few weeks than Tor long
time. If that demand holds out as 1t prom
ises to prices are more likely to advance than
TO recede.
Bran and Shorts-Both of these commodi-
ties are selling well, with the former the
more active at $40 25@ll.25. Shorts sold at
$11.25l12.5O. Sacked bran seems to be very
scarce and firm
Corn-Demand slow at 3S@39c.
gOats-Are not moving as readily as reeeiv-
ers would like. The receipts are yet too.
heavy for the supplying of the track demand,
many having to be sold to go into store Such
sales drag down the track market Sales at
2l@24c for fair No. 3 to No. white.
Barley-The demand is slack and prices
getting to be quite nominal at 45@53c for
fair to very choice No. 3.
Flaxseed-Sales at 81 .O2@1. .O2I2. Chicago,
81 .0201. 1.OSIa.
Feed-Quoted at sl4.5O@15 on track and
about soc more f. o. b. There is begin
ming to be more inquiry.
Hay-This market is very fiat, owing to late
heavy receiDts. Sales of wild reported at
ST@S, with demand too limited even at that
range.
